Summer KO Tynedale v Forest Hall A

Not a very auspicious start to the Summer KO. We outgraded Forest Hall marginally, so nedeed 2½ out of 4 to win. We failed to trouble the scorer, lost 0-4, and must now defend our plate trophy. Personally, I made two stupid mistakes, first I set the board up the wrong way round, so I played white and Martin played black. By the time we realised the error it was too late to change, but somewhat flustered I played an illegal move, pawn on g4 takes pawn on e5, and was forced by the touch a piece move it rule to actually play g4 to g5. This cost me a good opppurtunity, and Martin outplayed me in a tight ending.
